WE'VE REACHED OUR BASE GOAL!! THANK YOU!!

But it doesn't end here! The base goal allows us to create three episodes--a satisfying, complete arc chronicling Malfalia's war against the evil Princesses--but our stretch goals will allow us to create more episodes and flesh out our world. What are we looking for, you might ask? Well:

$60,000 – Four episodes!

$75,000 – Five episodes!

$90,000 – Six episodes!

And to infinity and beyond! Your wish is our command, we will make as many episodes as you want to see! If you want our opinion: at six episodes, we would really be able to flesh out Malf's journey and give the supporting cast time to shine! So keep being awesome and spread the word.

WELCOME!

To the Royal Kingdom of Serenadia, where singing is power. With the right song, you can bring peace to the downtrodden, bake a delicious birthday cake... even KILL!

Hence, the Golden King has decreed all Blackhearts must bear the Muzzle: a magic tattoo that punishes those who try to sing.

See, the Kingdom was once ravaged by years of bloody musical warfare waged between the Golden King and the Black Matron. Now, twenty years after the King's dulcet baritone restored peace to the land, the Matron’s teen daughter Malfalia is determined to shed her Muzzle and sing. So Malf sneaks off to meet her idol, Princess Ambrosia... only for Ambrosia to cruelly trick her into triggering her Muzzle and, quite satisfied, leave her screaming on the cold Kingdom asphalt.

But Malfalia - even writhing, heartbroken and humiliated - is still her mother's daughter. She sings through the pain, shatters her Muzzle and vows revenge: to masquerade as a princess, infiltrate and destroy royal society... then free her fellow Blackhearts from the tyranny of the Muzzles!

A NEW KIND OF MUSICAL!

What makes Muzzled extra-special? We want to put YOU in it! Yeah, once the show is funded, we'll have ample opportunities to put you in the cast recording, singing along with these awesome actors!

CHARACTER INFO.

Ashly Burch

Malfalia (Ashly Burch) is the daughter of the most terrifying
Blackheart in the kingdom... but she secretly wants to be a princess. Not to mention her habit of sneaking song verses when her mother’s away. Eternally torn between her obsession with princesses and the Blackheart blood
that runs in her veins, Malf might be more powerful than even her legendary mother... maybe powerful enough to unshackle the Muzzles and return the gift of Song to her people.

Ashly Burchis not only star and co-writer of the hilarious webseries Hey
Ash, Whatcha Playin? She also lends her voice talents to awesome stuff like Bee and Puppy Cat, Adventure Time, and Borderlands 2!

Ashley Clements

Princess Ambrosia (Ashley Clements) is the Golden King’s daughter and Malfalia’s
childhood hero. In theory a perfectly coifed princess adored across the Kingdom, Ambrosia is, in reality, a ruthless wild child who commands a vast entourage of evil party princesses... all of whom hate the Blackhearts, and will stop for nothing until Ambrosia wrests command of the Kingdom from her father.

Ashley Clements is best known for playing the iconic Elisabeth Bennet in the beloved, critically-acclaimed, Emmy-winning series The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, and for which she was also nominated
for a Streamy Award for Best Female Performance in a Comedy. Learn more about Ashley
at www.ashleyclements.net and follow her @TheAshleyClem on twitter!

Mary Kate Wiles

Maxwell Glick

Hadey (Mary Kate Wiles) and Damon (Maxwell Glick) are Malfalia’s best and only friends. Hadey, daughter to the Lord of the Underworld, is all
about the Blackheart pride... but secretly envies Malf’s
position as heiress to the legacy of the Black Matron. Damon's a good-hearted if mischievous half-demon and acts, perhaps ironically, as the conscience of the Blackheart trio.

Mary Kate Wilesis in pretty much everything. She played Lydia Bennet in The Lizzie Bennet Diaries and its spin-off, The Lydia
Bennet!!; Zelda in Squaresville; and Sansa in School of Thrones. She's also appeared on The Middle, and in the upcoming films The Sound and The Shadow and Hello, My Name Is Frank.

Maxwell Glick's prolific webseries career heralds back to the classic lonelygirl15 and now includes Mr. Collins in The Lizzie Bennett
Diaries, Stannis in School of Thrones, and he was the official spokesman for Taco John's!

Joey Richter

Krampus (Joey Richter) was once the Black Matron’s deadliest lieutenant, back during the bloody Songwars. Hadey's childhood bedroom walls were covered in posters of his face. But ever since those glory days, he's now the indentured servant of the Golden King himself... which would make him the perfect sleeper agent should the Songwars come again...

Joey Richteris a veteran of the musical stage, performing
in several fantastic Starkid productions, perhaps most notably as Ron Weasley in A Very Potter
Musical. He can be seen as Officer Petey on the Disney
Channel’s Jessie and as Apple #8 on Glee. This past
summer Joey worked as both an actor and producer on a production of The Last Days of Judas Iscariot at
Stage 773.

Brendan Bradley

Prince Dashing is a cocky teen prince from a kingdom far away, serving as Ambrosia’s royal arm candy. But there's more to him than you'd first expect.

Brendan Bradleytrained at The Royal Academy and New York University, and has performed all over the world in theater, television and
film festivals including Sundance, SXSW and Methodfest for which he received the
award for Best Actor. He invites you to access more at: www.brendanAbradley.com

Kevin Sorbo

Kevin Sorbois himself a legend in the world of fantasy and sci-fi film and television. With over one hundred acting credits, he has played iconic roles such as Hercules in Hercules: The Legendary Journeys; Captain Dylan Hunt in Andromeda; and Kull in Kull the Conqueror.

Juliet Landau

The Black Matron, legendary Blackheart and single working mother, is the stuff of living nightmares. It's even said her true name cannot be spoken in the mortal tongue. Her bid for power overthrown, the Matron now serves the Golden King by fitting all newly-registered Blackhearts with Muzzles. But has she truly settled into a life of servitude... or is the Matron playing the long game?

Juliet Landauis an amazing actor of screen and stage, and has lent her voice to numerous television shows and video games. She's a cult icon for
her fantastic performance as Drusilla in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel.

Jeff Lewis

Captain Hook (Jeff Lewis), newly-registered Blackheart (thanks to a misunderstanding with a gaggle of flying children), is currently trying to survive his budding romance with The Black Matron.

PRODUCTION INFO – WHERE DOES THE MONEY GO?

Great question! Behold this rockin' pie chart.

(Keep in mind this reflects the money after Kickstarter and taxes take a solid 10% of whatever we raise!)

Film is an expensive medium, and musicals even moreso. Muzzled is a labor of love, and we're honestly striving to bring it to you as cost-effectively as possible.

LET'S TALK ABOUT STRECH GOALS.

$45,000 - Reaching the base goal allows us to create three episodes, the first arc chronicling Malfalia's war against the evil Princesses. We promise to provide a completely satisfying first season, but if we can reach our stretch goals, we can do even more episodes and take the story even further! How many episodes? That's totally up to you:

$60,000 – Four episodes!

$75,000 – Five episodes!

$90,000 – Six episodes!

And on and on into infinity! We are your humble vassals, and we will make as many episodes as you want to see!

If you want our opinion: at six episodes, we would really be able to flesh out Malf's journey and give the supporting cast time to shine!

THANK YOU SO MUCH for stopping by! And stay tuned for life-changing updates throughout the campaign!

Risks and challenges

From scheduling and equipment rentals, to the unpredictable nature of weather, the art of film making is one great challenge. But the good news? We love a challenge.

Everyone on the Muzzled cast and crew are all staunch professionals, with tons of experience and a canny knack at untangling dilemmas before they become problems in the first place. We're all dedicated to bringing you the best possible version of Muzzled, no matter what it takes!
